I don't know if you're clumsy like me, but I often need the help of a band-aid or two, to cover my broken skin. What a fun idea are these washi-tape covered band-aids? Heal your boo-boos and add a pretty little strip of colour :)

I enjoyed reading about Vivian Maier on The Clothes Horse this week. As I started reading, it reminded me of the enigmatic Henry Darger, a couple of sentences after I have that thought, he came up in the conversation too ;) It's wonderful that people can produce art for seemingly no audience or reward, other than the joy of doing. Perhaps it is cathartic, or helps them learn about the world through observation and exploration. Whatever the reason, it feels more pure, as the motive of fame and fortune is definitely removed when one is a secret artist.

Well, let's be honest, I've been pretty busy lately! It's often hard to find time to sleep enough, let alone write a lot, or take pictures. I'm hoping to get myself into a better routine this week, as my schedule is looking pretty set until the end of August now. This weekend is for catching up on sleep, hot tea, kitty cuddles and movie-watching snuggles under a blanket. What are you up to?
